Fundies Say the Darndest Things!

Fundies Say the Darndest Things! (a title stolen from Art Linkletters' television show, Kids Say the Darnedest Things!) is another one of the Christian-hater websites which seem to be all over the internet.
It claims to have the world's largest collection of what it calls "hilarious, bizarre, ignorant, bigoted, and terrifying" quotations from Christian blogs, forums, etc.  The problem is that the quotations are exactly what fstdt says that they are.  People!!!!!  Don't give them any ammunition!  They already think that you are idiots.  Christians should be in the intellectual forefront of discussions on every topic, not running around saying stupid things.


There is a saying that it is better to remain silent, and be thought stupid, than to open your mouth and prove it.  This has been attributed to numerous people: George Eliot, Confucius, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Samuel Johnson, Benjamin Franklin, Socrates, etc.  Actually, it probably originates from a mangled mis-quotation of Proverbs 17:28.  " Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding."
